Imagine if, rather than blaming the "far left", (whatever you think that is),

180. Squinch is correct. And OP, 42% didn't vote. 58% of 200M registered voters,

the largest number in history, voted in what, for this country, was a high turnout. As for who to blame for those who did not, let's first and foremost put that blame squarely on them.

I'm not their babysitter. It's not my fault for not getting them out.

The far left and far right spread irrational degrees of dissension and malcontent, and of course lies, against Democrats, but it's not primarily their fault either.

Ultraconservative billionaires built giant right-wing media networks and infiltrated MSM to blanket the nation with their lies against Democrats and "the establishment," the ones pushed by both the far left and far right of course, but its not even primarily their fault for this.
These same people have been engineering the theft of elections and using a variety of methods to keep citizens from being able to vote on election day, but before we blame them entirely for those they succeeded in blocking, let's first remember and pay respect to all thsoe who were blocked and fought to get back on the rolls and, of course, the millions who stood in line for several hours to be able to vote.

In a democracy we all have need and duty to vote, so of course first and last it's the fault of those who did not vote. And large numbers of those didn't because it's not in their nature to care about voting -- unless they have to. And for that, they need to be hurt in a motivating way. Hurt to other people is not enough because most nonvoters are poorly informed, or not at all.
